AMC, Instructure and the University of California, Irvine have launched a free massive open online course (a.k.a. MOOC) exploring a broad range of topics through the lens of a zombie apocalypse. The eight-week course — titled “Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC’s The Walking Dead” — is now available on Instructure’s MOOC platform, Canvas Network, and is taught by esteemed members of UC Irvine faculty focused on public health, social sciences, physics and mathematics.

The first class launched this past monday. The entire course runs through Dec. 2. If you haven’t enrolled, do so today. Log on to Canvas.net/TWD to get started.
